UK Horse Racing Tips: Market Rasen

WALLQUATARI looked to be going best in front two from home at Doncaster in November, but he was ultimately picked up in the closing stages. That performance sets a clear standard and, if able to find further progress today, he should go one place better. Doctor Dino gelding Lundi Noir was picked up for 60,000 euros last year and he warrants a market check in a moderate contest, while Miners Gamble, who holds an official rating of 63 on the level, is another to be interested in.
Prediction : 1st Wallquatari 2nd Lundi Noir 3rd Miners Gamble

Siog Geal (fourth) had no obvious excuses when finishing behind BLUEY (second) at Windsor last month and with the former perhaps needing a greater test of stamina, Emma Lavelle's six-year-old is expected to confirm her superiority. The winner is relatively prominent in the Dawn Run ante-post market, so that form could be particularly useful. Future Fortune finished a creditable second at Taunton recently and, in receipt of 6lb from the aforementioned pair, could be a real force.
Prediction : 1st Bluey 2nd Siog Geal 3rd Future Fortune

EXPRESS SURPRISE created quite the impression when bolting up on his fencing bow last month and given that improvement is likely, a subsequent 9lb rise in the handicap might not be enough to stop him from going in again. Camino Rocio was pulled up at Taunton when chasing a four-timer a fortnight ago but he won't be far away if bouncing straight back to form. Jessmae can chase the pair home.
Prediction : 1st Express Surprise 2nd Camino Rocio 3rd Jessmae

Lavida Adiva relished the return to class 4 company when getting up on the line at Aintree on Boxing Day and another bold bid is forecast. However, a 4lb rise in the ratings does demand more from Ruth Jefferson's mare and smart Flat Performer MISS CYNTHIA looks open to more improvement. The five-year-old has filled the runner-up berth on both hurdle outings to date and she enters handicaps on a workable mark. The downgraded Sunset Hill is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Miss Cynthia 2nd Lavida Adiva 3rd Sunset Hill

A switch to more aggressive tactics saw BURROWS HALL make all at Uttoxeter 10 days ago. The eight-year-old scored with enough to hand to suggest that a 6lb rise in the ratings could be on the lenient side and a quick-fire double may be on the cards. The biggest threat might emerge from Geordie Night, who found only a subsequent winner too strong at Wetherby last time out. Market support for handicap debutant Realta Liath would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Burrows Hall 2nd Geordie Night 3rd Realta Liath

ONESOC didn't have to come out of second gear when scoring in fine style at Catterick eight days ago and a 7lb penalty is unlikely to prevent him from following up if he's in the same mood today. Ballywood hit the crossbar over C&D before only managing fourth at Warwick last time, but he has more favourable conditions this time around. Captain Ivan takes a drop in grade and is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Onesoc 2nd Ballywood 3rd Captain Ivan

Point-to-point winner UN SENS A LA VIE changed hands for 180,000 pounds in November and the five-year-old represents powerful connections on his debut under NH rules. The son of Muhtahir is related to plenty of winners and it would be no surprise to see him strike at the first time of asking. Espresso Milan finished fourth on his debut under Rules over track and trip in December and will be looking to put that experience to good use, while any market confidence behind newcomer Telepieces would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Un Sens A La Vie 2nd Espresso Milan 3rd Telepieces
